Anchored ledger.

The append-only record of protocol activity, hashed in batches into a Merkle tree and anchored to Bitcoin, so any record can be proven to have existed at a point in time without trusting GRAJ.

What it means

The append-only record of protocol activity, hashed in batches into a Merkle tree and anchored to Bitcoin, so any record can be proven to have existed at a point in time without trusting GRAJ.

What goes wrong

The proof is only as good as the anchor. A record that has not yet been anchored can be shown to exist now; it cannot yet be shown to have existed then.
